Nutella Stuffed Banana Pancakes

Servings: 12 pancakes
Author: Karina - Cafe Delites

Ingredients

Pancakes:

  • 1 large , ripe banana
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or cooking oil or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup self raising flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (or white sugar/coconut sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup Nutella , melted *See Notes

Nutella Fudge Sauce (Optional):

  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Mash the banana well in a large bowl. Whisk in the egg, butter (or oil), vanilla and milk until combined. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt; fold through until just combined, Whisk lightly to get rid of any lumps.
  • Heat a nonstick pan or skillet over low-medium heat. Pour less than 1/4 cup (2 tablespoons) of batter onto the pan **See Notes*. Before the pancake sets; spoon 1 teaspoon of the melted Nutella onto the centre of the batter and spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of pancake batter over the top to seal in the Nutella. It works best if evenly covering the Nutella in a zig-zag motion. (Use this recipe here for pictures if needed.)
  • Repeat with remaining batter and Nutella.
  • Serve with sliced bananas and a drizzle of Nutella fudge sauce.
  • Nutella Fudge Sauce:
  • Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm and slightly thinner. Alternatively, place Nutella in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (being careful not to have any water touch the Nutella, or it will seize), until heated through. Mix the milk through, whisking until a glossy sauce forms.

Notes

*Melt the Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds until warm and slightly thinner. Alternatively, place Nutella in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (being careful not to have any water touch the Nutella, or it will seize), until heated through.
**Don't worry if it looks smaller than an average pancake! They will become larger when adding the extra batter over the top. Don't be tempted to add any more than the recommended 2 tablespoons for the base, or you will have a mess. Trust me.
